[gmx-users] rerun under non-bonded E. terms

[Albert Solernou]

Hi,
I may have not expressed well my final goal. I need a trajectory, a .trr 
file, that has the forces. I am interested in the non-bonded forces of a 
sub-set of the residues, so I need to re-compute these, and cannot use 
the values that come from the full trajectory where all the residues are 
present.

Thanks for your time,
Albert
